Optimized Energy Aware VM Provisioning in Green Cloud Based on Cuckoo Search with Levy Flight
Md Ashifuddin Mondal, Tamal Deb · Advances in computational intelligence and robotics book series · 2016
This chapter proposed a nature inspired energy aware VM provisioning technique in cloud computing to minimize the power consumption by the resources while providing negotiable Quality of Services (QoS). Data centers hosting different cloud application consume huge amount electrical energy which leads to a higher operational cost for service provider and makes an adverse effect in environment in terms of co2 emission. Green cloud computing can provide the solutions by optimum use of electrical energy in data center without degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). The proposed technique works in three phases: firstly consumer's service request validation is done with respect to Service Level Agreement. Then move to VM placement phase. Lastly VM placement optimization is done in order to minimize the power consumption by physical host. This chapter use Cuckoo search for optimization technique. The performance of proposed approach is validates by conducting series of evaluation using CloudSim framework
